In fifteen minutes of inspiration, Mickey Singer subverts the belief that science is the bad guy, and places it squarely back where it started out – as the exploration of the underlying force that leads to God. Listen to what he is saying and our “miniscule egos” may finally get it – may understand the lie that is going on inside our minds, and realize the absurdity of wanting what is happening to be the way we’d like it to be. The attempt to control what is manifesting is the source of all war and disharmony. The truth is we just know we exist and are conscious. This beautiful gift to the SAND community ends with a passionate plea not just to study science, but to start living the truth it teaches us.

COPERNICUS FESTIVAL, May 6-11, 2014, Kraków

John Gray discusses the topic of relations between the sciences and humanities, which is of great intrinsic importance all over the world. He argues that it is a mistake to think that social science can ever (or should) be modeled on natural sciences. They are different. They apply different types of phenomena - human beings are not machines, however complicated or unpredictable. They have reason for what they do, they are govern by their view of the world, their (right or wrong) beliefs. And the attempt to model human action on a kind of methodology which is derived from natural science is an error.
Gray provides three examples. The first is economy or rather economism, which is an attempt to model all of human behavior on economic exchanges or transactions. He argues that economism doesn't even work when applied to economic activity -- it is a mistaken approach even to the marketplace, because marketplace is govern by beliefs, culture understanding and irrationality. The second idea is modernization (some philosophers called it modernity), according to which all societies as they become more modern, become more similar as well as more liberal and democratic. He thinks that it is a mistake too -- societies can become more modern and more different and a particular society can be highly modern and highly barbaric. Finally, he talks about intellectual suppression of religion. He noted that he isn't religious person himself. By intellectual suppression of religion he doesn't mean an atheism or deny of religious beliefs. It is a way, in which religious concepts and categories have been excluded from various disciplines. Those categories reappeared in secular forms. According to Grey much secular thinking consist of repressed religion.

John Gray is an English political philosopher with interests in analytic philosophy and the history of ideas. He retired as School Professor of European Thought at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Gray has written several influential books, including False Dawn: The Delusions of Global Capitalism (1998), which argues that free market globalization is an unstable Enlightenment project currently in the process of disintegration, Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals (2003), which attacks philosophical humanism, a worldview which Gray sees as originating in religious ideologies, and Black Mass: Apocalyptic Religion and the Death of Utopia (2007), a critique of utopian thinking in the modern world. Gray sees volition, and hence morality, as an illusion, and portrays humanity as a ravenous species engaged in wiping out other forms of life. He writes that 'humans ... cannot destroy the Earth, but they can easily wreck the environment that sustains them.'

Science and evidence have long been used to better society. Scientific advancements have lead to more effective medicine, transportation, and communication, just to name a few. But science also plays a crucial role in our democracy.
The discovery and spread of facts and evidence serves as a check against those in power. Science empowers us to hold our government accountable by providing the information needed to evaluate their actions and decisions.
However, since science can expose information that may be inconvenient for those in power, science can come under attack.
In Canada and other countries, we have seen governments shut out and shut down science that threatened their agendas. We saw this in Canada with the muzzling of government scientists and defunding of research programs.
It is vital for scientists to be able to speak openly and freely to the public. When scientists can’t tell the public the findings of their work, governments can make decisions that go unchecked by scientific evidence.
Communicating science demystifies its process and results for the public. This allows citizens to act and organize around relevant issues to create real change and influence government policy and direction.
Not to mention that most science is funded by taxpayers, so of course we should have access to it, it is our science!
Roles like science advisors help link the scientific community with the highest levels of government, further strengthening this relationship between society, science, and government.
But if research programs dwindle and die they can no longer produce the evidence that is integral to supporting or refuting claims made by those in power. And decision-makers are left making choices in the dark.
When used properly, science can influence policy, which results in a safer and more conscientious environment for all of us to live in.
A thriving science system that is well-funded and open to the public is essential to a strong democracy. You can’t have one without the other. Strong science, strong democracy.

Biologist Denis Alexander explains that science and faith do not have to been seen as giving rival views about things. It is more helpful to think of them as different levels of explanation.

Dr. Matthew J. Brown will speak to the Collegiate Peaks Forum audience on “The Relationship between Science and Human Values.”
Many people see scientific inquiry as the paradigm of objective, rational activity, free from our biases, values, human interests, or social context. But looking at the historical record, science has often been deeply affected by values. “This may seem like an unfortunate source of bias that should be eliminated entirely from science. To the contrary, human values and social factors play an ineliminable role in scientific practices, and when their role is properly managed, they can be a force for improving the value of science rather than destroying its integrity,” Dr. Brown says. He believes that we need ethics, social responsibility and transparency rather than impartiality and value neutrality. “The ideal of science as pure, inhuman and value free is neither reachable nor desirable.”
His talk will contrast the pragmatic function of science—the ability to solve problems and generate practical results—with the value function of science: the construction of a world-view and way of life. Drawing this distinction allows us to better understand how certain parts of science work, the role of science in our culture, and the relationship between science and human values.

If God underlies everything, including science and faith, why can't the relationship between science and faith be described as perfectly unified? Denis Alexander explains how, although the world is a unity, there are different aspects to life. We tackle these areas in different ways, with different types of language to describe them.

The beginning of the universe and the relationship between science and faith: many people think that science and faith tell conflicting stories about how the universe began. But the scientific picture is of a definite moment of creation in a vast cosmic explosion (the 'Big Bang'), which had to be carefully adjusted for human life to be possible. Far from conflicting, the scientific picture may point us towards a supernatural creator God.

Like marriage, the relationship between science and technology is complex and dynamic. This essay will cover the differences, similarities, cross-applicability, and cooperation between science and technology.
Science and technology use different strengths, goals, and practices to cooperatively create new applications to advance culture. Although science and technology differ greatly, the human culture fuses the differences into a complementary whole for the benefit of culture and humanity.

The relationship between religion and science has been a subject of study since classical antiquity, addressed by philosophers, theologians, scientists, and others. Perspectives from different geographical regions, cultures and historical epochs are diverse, with some characterizing the relationship as one of conflict, others describing it as one of harmony, and others proposing little interaction.
Science acknowledges reason, empiricism, and evidence, while religions include revelation, faith and sacredness whilst also acknowledging philosophical and metaphysical explanations with regard to the study of the universe. Both science and religion are complex social and cultural endeavors that vary across cultures and have changed over time.[1] Most scientific and technical innovations prior to the Scientific revolution were achieved by societies organized by religious traditions. Elements of the scientific method were pioneered by ancient pagan, Islamic, and Christian scholars. Roger Bacon, who is often credited with formalizing the scientific method, was a Franciscan friar.[2] Hinduism has historically embraced reason and empiricism, holding that science brings legitimate, but incomplete knowledge of the world. Confucian thought has held different views of science over time. Most Buddhists today view science as complementary to their beliefs.
Events in Europe such as the Galileo affair, associated with the scientific revolution and the Age of Enlightenment, led scholars such as John William Draper to postulate a conflict thesis, holding that religion and science have been in conflict methodologically, factually and politically throughout history. This thesis is held by some contemporary scientists such as Richard Dawkins, Steven Weinberg and Carl Sagan, and some creationists. While the conflict thesis remains popular for the public, it has lost favor among most contemporary historians of science.
Many scientists, philosophers, and theologians throughout history, such as Francisco Ayala, Kenneth R. Miller and Francis Collins, have seen compatibility or independence between religion and science. Biologist Stephen Jay Gould, other scientists, and some contemporary theologians hold that religion and science are non-overlapping magisteria, addressing fundamentally separate forms of knowledge and aspects of life. Some theologians or historians of science, including John Lennox, Thomas Berry, Brian Swimme and Ken Wilber propose an interconnection between science and religion, while others such as Ian Barbour believe there are even parallels.
Public acceptance of scientific facts may be influenced by religion; many in the United States reject the idea of evolution by natural selection, especially regarding human beings. Nevertheless, the American National Academy of Sciences has written that "the evidence for evolution can be fully compatible with religious faith", a view officially endorsed by many religious denominations globally.

This programme equips learners to consider and respond to these questions:
• Are science and religion in conflict?
• Are they separate, independent?
• Do they interact with each other?
• Are they engaged in a common
search for understanding, that is, are they potentially integrated?
Galileo was persecuted by the Church for affirming the truth that the sun is the centre of the solar system, rather than the earth. He was forced to recant these beliefs on his knees, although perhaps he did not really believe his recantation. The history was complex: maybe more of a squabble than the mighty clash it is sometimes seen as.
If religious belief is reinforced by tradition and literalism, is it essentially conservative? Is it always under threat from progressive science? Or are there more fruitful ways of characterising the relationship between science and belief?
Four models of the relation between science and religion are outlined.
Insight from faith and religion, and challenges from science to religious tradition, suggest there can be a view both ways that is positive.

http://bit.ly/9d62Qx Michael Laitman defines the relationship between the most advanced theories in science, and Kabbalah. He explains that science is anything that is based on reason and experience, as is the wisdom of Kabbalah. If I develop my sixth sense it is like another tool. It is like a tool that allows me to see that animals see a different picture of the world. If I develop that special sixth sense within me called soul, I sense a different world, then I can discover and research it,examine it, and advance further in the spiritual world. Sensing the spiritual world is like stereograms . . .

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Various aspects of the relationship between religion and science have been cited by modern historians of science and religion, philosophers, theologians, scientists, and others from various geographical regions and cultures. Even though the ancient and medieval worlds did not have conceptions resembling the modern understandings of "science" and "religion", certain elements of these modern ideas are found throughout history. It was in the 19th century when the phrases "religion and science" or "science and religion" first emerged in literature. This coincided with the refining of "science", from the studies of "natural philosophy", and "religion" as distinct concepts in the last few centuries partly due to professionalization of the sciences, the Protestant Reformation, colonization, and globalization. Since then, many have characterized the relationship as either conflict, harmony, complexity, or mutual independence.
Both science and religion are complex social and cultural endeavors that vary across cultures and have changed over time. Most scientific and technical innovations prior to the scientific revolution were achieved by societies organized by religious traditions. Elements of the scientific method were pioneered by ancient pagan, Islamic, and Christian scholars. Roger Bacon, who is often credited with formalizing the scientific method, was a Franciscan friar. Hinduism has historically embraced reason and empiricism, holding that science brings legitimate, but incomplete knowledge of the world and universe. Confucian thought has held different views of science over time. Most Buddhists today view science as complementary to their beliefs. While the classification of the material world by the ancient Indians and Greeks into air, earth, fire and water was more philosophical, medieval Middle Easterns used practical and experimental observation to classify materials.Events in Europe such as the Galileo affair, associated with the scientific revolution and the Age of Enlightenment, led scholars such as John William Draper to postulate a conflict thesis, holding that religion and science have been in conflict methodologically, factually and politically throughout history. This thesis is held by some contemporary scientists such as Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss, Peter Atkins, and Donald Prothero.

One of the best things about traveling is to meet new people. We met through the Miss Travel app and were lucky enough to see our story develop way beyond the first dinner (which Jade still thinks was not a date, but it totally was). After traveling to Paris, Madrid, London and Chile together, we still maintain contact despite the thousands of miles which stand between us and both aspire to write the second chapter of our story. This type of experience is what makes life so worth living! The hotel, staff and service were all first class. The events were smoothly run with professionalism and more than enough food and drink for everyone.
